Gaming and dorm students

[Bob Williamson <bob_williamson () AW ORG>]

I am the network admin at a small K-12 private school.  We have about 90 dorm students.

A problem I am running into is enabling the dorm students to be able to use normal games like "World of Wrcraft", 
"League of Legends", etc.  It seems a lot of these games are using bittorrent on the backend.

Without digging into the specifics, how are others handling the dormers requests?  Telling them no does not seem 
appropriate, but not letting them play seems bogus.  I was toying with the idea of having the individuals sign a sheet 
saying they will not use bittorent for illegal purposes.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Note that I am using a Palo Alto so can handle filtering by user and app level.
